ing as belonging to the Pyralidae. The Group appears to me of 

 subfamily value. Figure 13 gives an enlarged vieAv of the extremity 

 of the labial palpus, showing the position of the terminal joint in 

 Lomanaltes. 



Family TORTRICIDAE. 



Tortrix Georgiaiia, Grote, Plate 1, fig. 4, primary wing. 



Male antennae not basally constricted ; all tlie nervules separated ; costa of 

 tlie primaries with a basal fold enclosing a liair pencil ; vein 2 thrown off at 

 outer two-thirds of the median nervure from the base to origin of vein 3. 

 Hind wings with 3 and 4 thrown off together ; also 6 and 7. Fore wings pale 

 ochrey, with five transverse, irregular, nearly equidistant, perpendicular, fer- 

 ruginous lines crossing the basal two-thirds of the wing ; the outer fourth and 

 fifth of these lines are joined on the submedian interspace by a crossing of 

 similar scales. The second from the base divides at costa. On the outer third 

 of the wing similar ferruginous scales form three disconnected angulate fig- 

 ures ; two on the costal, one on the internal margin, that at the apex Y-shaped. 

 Light purply shades on the ground color of the wing between the ferruginous 

 markings. Hind wings dark fuscous with pale fringes ; anal tuft prominent. 



Habitat, Philadelphia (Bunte). 



Tortrix Houstonaua, Grote, Plate 1, fig. 5, primary wing. 



No basal antennal constriction ; fore wings 12 veined, all the veins separate ; 

 without (?) a costal fold. Hind wings slightly truncate ; external margin un- 

 even (wellenrandig) ; veins 3 and 4 thrown off together, short ; 5 much re- 

 moved ; 6 and 7 together ; 7 curved upwardly to apex. Hind tibiae with double 

 spurs. Palpi thickly scaled, porrect, applied to the front. Fore wings jmle 

 ochreous, much taken up with ferruginous transverse irregular lines; between 

 these the irregularly formed interspaces are filled out with different paler 

 shades ; at outer third the second and third transverse lines from the external 

 margin are connected medially by a black blotch, and blackish scales are else- 

 where intermixed on the lines. There is a plumbeous patch on submedian 

 interspace and a smaller one beneath it on the margin, as well as others 

 obliquely inwardly towards costa not prominent. The paler scales over the 

 middle of the wing are slightly brilliant. Hind wings pale, slightly smoky, 

 with paler fringes longer about anal angle and internal margin. In color this 

 smaller species with rounded primaries resembles the preceding, but the
